stated that the bridge would be built,

that the board has at last decided to
build it.

The Gazette is very much opposed to
the repeal of the internal revenue tax
upon whisky 1925 for each place.. and
at the same time thinks the Dow law
tax of 5000 is of little account
Dealers care very little for the inter
nal revenue tax. Any one who can sell
few gallons year can easily pay that,
but the Dow tax has crowded thousands
of them out of the business.
Our internal revenue taxes are relics
of the war, that should be got rid of as
soon as possible. That upon whisky
was not intended as a restrictive meas
ure at all, but wholly as a revenue
measure. The Democrats appose its
repeal in hope they may force reduce
tion of tariff duties.

that they are unfairly treated in the
matter of representation in senatorial
conventions, and there is settled de-
termination to right the question in the
election of delegates two years hence.
There is no disposition to take any un'
due advantage on account Of numbers,
but Republicans of this county feel that
each individual Republican must be
treated as the equal of any other Re
publican ;and that it is grievous wrong
TO require three Republicans of this
county to stand up to be counted against
one In Harrison.
Belmont has treated Harrison gener
erously in conventions, and will do SO 10
the future; but it will sternly insist
that Harrison shall be just toward it.

The Chronicle last week highly commends
the Dow law, and puffs the Republican party
for its enactment. The question arises, how
many real temperance people favor the Dow
law? 1t is make-shift, and like ''they say, y
poes nothing it is expected to do.-Gazette.
The CHRONICLE asserted that the
candidates of the Republicans could be
depended upon to uphold the Dow law,
and that the success of the Democratic
candidates might imperil that law. The
above is the response of the Democrat
-ic organ.
Men who believe that law is make
shift" and that it "dees nothing it is ex.
pected to do," should vote the Demo
cratic legislative ticket; but men who
know it has driven the open traffic in
liquors from Barnesville and St. Clairs
vile and Flushing. and that it has alb
solutely closed dozens of drinking places
elsewhere in the county, will not do II
if they are wise.

DUNGAN'S BREAK.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE IN TROUBLE.

He Appeals to Chairman CAppeIler, of
the Republican State COMMITTEES, for .
Certificate of Honesty, and Is Appro-
priately Answered.
The detail of the manner in which
Governor Foraker's special message has
been mutilated and forged and sent out
to Democratic newspapers to publish and
circulate throughout the state has been
given elsewhere in these columns.
The discovery of the fraud, which was
promptly exposed, created CONSERVATION
at Democratic headquarters, as the gen.
eral expression of things was that they
might as well close up shop after the dis
covery of the employment in such
methods. In the endeavor to square him
self and gain some sort of public conf
dence, Chairman DUNCAN wrote a letter
to the Hon. w. S. Cappeller, chairman
of the Republican executive committee,
in which he promised in future to send
out accurate copies of Governor Foraker's
message, and asked that copy sent by
him with the letter, be endorsed by Chair
man Cappeller
This is probably the first time in the
history of politics in Ohio that the state
committee of a political party has so en-
tirely lost the confidence of the people
that it goes begging to the committe of
the opposite party to give them some sort
of backing, that it may have some infiu-
ence with the people. The reply of
Chairman Cappeller to Mr.. DUNCAN was
not very long, but it was to the point. 1t
was as follows:

FREE TRADE England presents an OBJ
ject lesson which ought to impress our
Americon workingmen. Agricultural
laborers, as well as a vast number of
mechanics and artisans, have little or
nothing to do, and even when they are
SO fortunate as to find work the wages
are wretchedly low. The supply of
farm work hands largely exceeds the de-
maDd, and hence there is no opportuni-
ty for mechanics to obtain any employ
ment in the country when they lose
their situations by the suspension of
manufactures and other industries.

The Chronicle last week among so many
inaccuracies that it is difficult to tell where
TO begin making corrections, says 'there was
a reunion at the Auditor Office Monday af>
terno n, after Auditor Barrett got his legs
under the mahogany" aad goes on to show
that it was Democratic reunion, &c. But
there is not word OF truth in the whole item.
There was Do gathering in the office OF the
kind mentioned. But several Taxpayers, who
had had difficulty in paying their taxes when
both the Auditor and Treasurer were Repub-
hcans, called in to get their annual settlement
correctly made. And they we're not all DEM
ocrats by any means. People having bus :
ness with the county, were glad to see Aus
ditor Barrett back in his of6ce.-Gazette.
THE CHRONICLE told the exact truth
about the matter, and, furthermore, Mr..
Albert Lawrence, who is asking Re-
publicaus to vote for him for Represen-
tative in the Legislature, and without
whose votes be can never represent
this county in that budy. was one of the
most conspicuous of. those gathered
around Auditor Barrett 10 the hand
shaking.
The story about taxpayers is the
most absurd imaginable, and is charac>
teristic of the imbecihty and reckless
ness of the Gazette. All men who have
had opportunity to compare the manage
ment of the Office by ex-Auditor Darrah
with that of Barrett know that the
former was very much superior, and
proofs that will convince all who have
not had personal contact are in the
records and 1les of the Office. During
the three years that Mr.. Barrett had CON-
troll of the Office. blundering, incompe'

them any better than those of Governor
